A super fun parent-child hike.

Autumn is the best time for hiking in Hangzhou. 🌈 It's a great time to take your kids out for a walk. This hiking route is fun and interesting, with delicious food, streams, waterfalls, caves, tea gardens, and pomegranate trees along the way. · 🔄 Our route: Shiwudong - Shangmanjuelong - Baihefeng - Yangmeiling - Jiuxi Yanshu - Jiuxi Bus Station · 1. Navigate to Shiwudong (Parking nearby is inconvenient and expensive, so I took the subway 🚇 to "Huanglongdong" Station and took Bus 87 to Shiwudong). 2. For boys, Shiwudong is an entry-level cave adventure experience. There are several caves here, all dark and mysterious. One of the caves goes from the foot of the mountain to the top, as if traveling through time and space. There are murals on the stone walls inside the cave, which are very interesting. (⚠️ The stone steps in the cave are a bit slippery because of the water, so you need to walk slowly. Bring a flashlight 🔦, as it is very dark inside the cave). 3. Leave Shiwudong and walk towards Shangmanjuelong. After about 200 meters, you will see the entrance to Baihefeng. Climb up and you will see the "bathhouse" prototype from Hayao Miyazaki's anime. (⚠️ If you want to take a close-up photo of the bathhouse, you can buy a bottle of mineral water (3 yuan) from the tea garden owner and then enter the garden to take photos. If you don't buy it, you can't go in). 4. Climb to the top of the tea garden and you can see West Lake. The mountain is not high, and it takes about 15 minutes to reach the top. 5. Return the same way and continue towards Shangmanjuelong. You can see beautiful persimmon trees and soapberry trees along the way, as well as teahouses and farmhouses on both sides of the road. 6. Walk towards Yangmeiling. The road to Yangmeiling is all downhill. 7. Walk past Yangmeiling and head towards Jiuxi Yanshu. The streams and tea trees are very peaceful and beautiful. It's okay for kids to run around here. You can also see jelly green water and waterfalls at Jiuxi Yanshu. 8. After arriving at Jiuxi Yanshu, we chose to take a sightseeing bus to Jiuxi Bus Station, 8 yuan/person. You don't need to buy a ticket if you hold your child. The ride takes about 10 minutes. · ✅ We walked with our kids for 3.5 hours, and the whole trip was fun and relaxing. ✅ This route is suitable for strollers, as the whole route is flat. When playing at Shiwudong, you can leave the stroller next to the stone table.
